Kawasaki Vulcan S 2021

No matter which platform Kawasaki puts the 650 cubic two-cylinder in, the result is always a great motorbike! Even though the engine is unusually rev-happy for a cruiser, it results in a cruiser that actually qualifies as a sports cruiser when paired with the sporty chassis set-up. The only brake is the limited lean angle clearance, but this will not deter lovers of hearty footrest grinding. With such a good bike, we hope that Kawasaki will follow suit - after all, the Vulcan S has been with us almost unchanged since 2015.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 2018

The Royal Enfield Himalayan is a real retro touring enduro. Apart from ABS, the bike does without any riding aids - but with its low power, you will rarely need aids such as traction control. Its appearance is definitely unique and brings a breath of fresh air to the current segment of touring enduros. In addition to its looks, the Himalayan scores with its easy rideability and a very comfortable seating position. Only the performance of the brake is disappointing. Despite good hardware, it takes a lot of power to stop the Royal Enfield. That's why you can call it a real retro bike - not only its looks, but also its technology is full of retro charm.
